INDEPENDENT EXAMThTR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ARDLEIGH PR SCHOOL I report on the accounts of the company for the s'ear ¢nded 31 August 2021, which are set out on pages I to3. Respective responsibilitie5 of trustees and exanjiner The trustees (who are also the directors of tbe cotnpanv for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trl￿S consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Chariti¢s Act 2011 (the 2011 Aet) and that an independ¢nt examination is needed. Th¢ charitv"s gross income does not exceed £2iO.000 and I atn an independenl person who is reasonably believed b). the charity inLsl¢es to have the requisile ability and practical experience to carry out a comp¢t¢nt examination of the a¢counts. Having satisfied myself that the charitr" is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination. it is my responsibility to: Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act. To follow the procedures laid down in the general DÉrections given by the Charity Commission under Section 14£(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. and To state wh¢th¢r particular matters have come to my attention. Basi5 of independent examiner's report My examination M'as carried out in accordance B'ith the general Directors given by the Charity Commission. An cxamination includes a reTrIe￿ of the ae¢ounling records kept by tlie charity and a comparison of the accounts preserLted with those records. It also includes consid¢ration of any unusual items OT disclosures in the a¢counts, and seeking explanations from vou as trustees conceming any such matters. The procedures undertak¢n do not proi'ide all the ekidence that would be required in an audit and consequendy no opinion is giN"en lo ￿'bether the accounts present a 'true and fair view, and the report is limited to those n]atters sel out in the statement below. Independent eigmiller's statement In connection with rny examination. no matter has com¢ lo my attention:

(i) which gives m¢ r¢&sonable caw to believe that in any material respect the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordan¢¢ with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006. and to prepare accounts Mthich accord with the accoullting records, complv with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and the methods and principals of the Statement of Recotnmended Practice.. Accounling and Reporting by Charities have not been met. or (ll) to which, in my opinion, attenlion should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
